SARASOTA, Fla. — The body of missing 11-year-old Florida girl Carlie Brucia (search) has been found, the local sheriff announced Friday morning, choking back tears.

"The body of a beautiful 11-year-old girl has been found," Sarasota County Sheriff Bill Balkwill (search) said, thanking the community for helping to find the body.

[geedee]

Pray for our children.

[geedee]

There's some photos found here that you can access. A beautiful, beautiful child.

Lord, please give me the strength to not wanna kill the sonofabitch myself.

[DM1]

What is wrong with people that they would do something like this! I hope that guy rots in He!! for this too bad we dont have some sort of torture clause or an eye for an eye rule or something.

[Aerohawk]

I agree completely. I have always felt that if they had something to fear from prison then they might think twice before commiting this crap. I advocate doing all further medical research and testing on prisoners and give the animals a break.

It was reported that negotiations with him led to her being found. That's enough evidence for a public hanging as far as I'm concerned. Let everyone come watch what will happen to child murderers.

[geedee]

That lovely child reminde me of my lovely niece. My heart's been broken since the story broke. Now it's shattered for her and her family. God help us when jackasses like her murderer are allowed to roam our streets after being arrested again and again and again. We . . . society . . . enabled her killer to kill her.

[alisasny]

I read somewhere the other day that if we exectuted 1 million of the criminals in this country we would see a huge change yet the left and some christians have fought so hard for the criminals that what, only 4000 have been executed since the 70's.

[pttttt]

It was reported that negotiations with him led to her being found.

I hope they didn't let him plead out of the death penalty.

Body of missing Sarasota girl found; mechanic charged

SARASOTA, Fla. — The body of an 11-year-old girl whose abduction was captured by a surveillance camera has been found in a church parking lot and a mechanic has been charged with her murder, officials said Friday.

Sarasota County Sheriff Bill Balkwill refused to say where Carlie Brucia's body was found, but a law enforcement source close to the investigation said it was found between 12:45 a.m. and 1 a.m. Friday at a church not far from the car wash. Investigators found the body after negotiations with Smith, the source said on condition of anonymity.

"Our prayers on behalf of everybody here in Sarasota County go out to the family," Balkwill said.

He said Joseph P. Smith, 37, has been charged with her murder. He is believed to be the tattooed man in a mechanic's shirt who was seen in a car wash surveillance video leading Carlie away by the arm Sunday evening, authorities said.

"We now stand ready to complete our obligation, and assure you that he will pay the ultimate price for what he did to her," Capt. Jeff Bell said.

Family and friends had kept vigil outside Carlie's ranch-style house which was decorated with banners and posters reading, "We love you, Carlie."

Carlie was described by friends as a beautiful girl who loved actress Jennifer Lopez, going to the mall and hanging out. The youngster was known for greeting friends with warm hugs. She was heading home from a slumber party when she was abducted. She had a cat named Charlie........

[geedee]

I hope they didn't let him plead out of the death penalty.

Florida? I doubt it. Floridians and us Texans, IMHO, "get it." Personally, I don't particularly care whether the death penalty keeps other murdering jackasses from killing. I know it'll damn sure keep the one who was just executed from murdering again. That's good enough for me.

[Area51]

A state Department of Corrections official said Thursday that a probation officer had asked a judge on Dec. 30 to declare Smith in violation of his probation because he had not paid all his fines and court costs.

Probation official Joe Papy said Circuit Judge Harry Rapkin declined to find Smith in violation, which could have returned him to jail.

Come on AMERICA GROW SOME BALLS. This judge needs, no strike that, has EARNED the response of IMPEACHMENT.

I hope this SOB sleeps well knowing that by neglecting his SWORN DUTY to enforce the law he cost a 11 year old Girl her life.

ARGG

[2banana]

I volunteer to flip the switch. If Florida had death by firing squad, I could have 10 volunteers ready to go in about an hour...

[cateizgr8]

I have always felt that if they had something to fear from prison then they might think twice before commiting this crap. I advocate doing all further medical research and testing on prisoners and give the animals a break.

AMEN TO THAT!!!!!

[geedee]

A beautiful child . . .

Killed by slime . . .

Her parents could probably use some FReeper prayers.

[Yudan]

They're in Florida, and there's a Bush in the Govnernor's Mansion.

This boy's gonna fry in Ol' Sparky.

Yudan out.

[Kherghan]

They should put his execution on Pay or view. This worthless lump of flesh needs to cook slowly.

[geedee]

I volunteer to flip the switch.

Can I help?

I'm going to have to take a time-out or something. I just posted some photos of Carlie . . . and I'm sitting here comparing them to some school photos of my niece. It's absolutely heart-breaking FOR ME! I can't even begin to imagine the pain Carlie's parents and friends must be feeling. There must be no pain greater than losing a child.

I've never been affected more by a news story than I have this one . . . and I'm a fat, cynical, old fart whose seen just about everything.

I think it's the car wash video that hooked me so emotionally to the story . . . As innocence herself is abducted by evil himself and led away to be tortured and murdered. You could just tell in the video that Carlie had been taught to respect her elders, to believe in the goodness of man, and to know that if she was a good person good things would happen to her.

God help me, I would kill that slime-bucket without a second's hesitation were he within reach right now!

Yup, I better take a time-out.

[ThanhPhero]

>Such people normally sleep content. He is probably worried now that Mr. Smith is misunderstood and is being deprived of his rights.I mean it is all just lifestyle choices.

[sticker]

To bad something can't be done to the judge that wouldn't jail him.

[Saundra Duffy]

God bless her family. Her poor mother. I guess we cannot let our kids walk alone on a city street anymore even in daylight. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.

[grumple]

Judge Harry Rapkin declined to find Smith in violation=inadvertant complicity

[Trueblackman]

We have the tape, suspect and the little girl's body. I say it is time to get the rope, a can of gas and find a nice strong tree near a swamp and have a good ole fashion lynching and burning party, I mean that is what I say or better yet someone should tie a millstone around his neck and cast his ass into the sea.

[joesnuffy]

It would be better for him to have a millstone place round his neck and cast into the deepest part of the ocean than on the day he meets his maker...

Send him there ASAP

Lord please give her parents your peace and strength in dealing with the awefull pain they now must bear...in Jesus' name

[AppyPappy]

Lock him in a cell with that German cannibal.

[Guvmint_Cheese]

Unfortunately, killing him would be too kind. This is one of those times I wouldn't mind having Uday Hussein around to show him what it's like when the Iraqi soccer team lost a match. This man needs to have electrodes hooked up to his nuts while Dr. Mengele goes over him with a rusty butter knife.

Afterwards, then I'll flip the switch...

God bless little Carlie.

[Arrowhead1952]

I volunteer to flip the switch. If Florida had death by firing squad, I could have 10 volunteers ready to go in about an hour...

That is WAY TOO SOFT a punishment for the POS. I say, cover the bastard with honey, hog tie the SOB on top of a fire ant bed and turn loose several thousand killer bees next to him.

[Jane G]

His eyes look dead.

[Dallas59]

Bastard.

[Dallas59]

What pisses me off even more is thinking of the idiots weeping and crying and holding candles for this monster when they put the needle in.

[FITZ]

Smith has been arrested at least 13 times in Florida since 1993, according to state records. He was arrested in 1997 in Manatee County on kidnapping and false imprisonment charges, but was acquitted a year later. He served 17 months in state prison for heroin possession and prescription drug fraud and was released on New Year's Day 2003. He was arrested eight days later on a cocaine possession charge and was placed on probation for three years. He also was placed on probation for aggravated battery in 1993 and heroin charges in 1999.

You wonder why on earth is a guy like this freed from prison. The liberals who support releasing this type of prisoner are responsible for this little girl's death --- this guy was already known to be a large problem.

[Guvmint_Cheese]

Yeah, I'd like to see how they'd feel when it's their kid. Bet they'd be first in line waiting to throw that switch. If they didn't feel that way, they should have their reproductive rights revoked.

[Trueblackman]

Okay I will buy that.

[mlbford2]

They can make life for him worse than death in prison. Put him in a blonde wig and some vanilla body scent and see what it will do for a 350lb lifer named Mongo. That'll be some good cell lov'n.

[robertpaulsen]

I heard on the radio that he told them where to find the body. My guess is that it's in exchange for life in prison.

[Buffettbassman]

I said that same prayer to God and my wife this morning!

[MamaTexan]

Put him in a blonde wig and some vanilla body scent

Nope,

7 square foot box papered with pictures of murdered girl

1 foot steel spikes spaced 6 inches apart on floor, walls and ceiling

lock door, push down hill

repeat as necessary.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Now there's a no good low life guy who deserves a letter laced with WMD.

[dfwgator]

I say cover him in honey and let the fire ants do the rest.

[AmericanInTokyo]

wow, do you pray to your wife? I thought I had it (subservient) bad! :-)

[dfwgator]

If he gets life in prison may he be "Dahmered."

[AmericanInTokyo]

The no good dude really deserves to suffer, that's for sure. I hope they take him out soon (ACLU will run to the rescue, though!)

[robertpaulsen]

That is where our prayers should now be directed.

[r9etb]

Many of us here -- me included -- would just as soon see Joseph P. Smith killed slowly and painfully. God help us all -- while it would satisfy, it can't be how God would have it happen.

If Smith is to die, I say just snuff him quickly, without ceremony or fuss, the same way we would kill other vermin. Let God take care of the rest of it.

I, personally, would favor not killing him at all -- just bury him in a featureless welded steel box, and feed him one tasteless meal per day until he dies of old age.

Or, better, give him something with which to hang himself in his cell. If it's good enough for Judas, it's good enough for Joseph P. Smith.

[MamaTexan]

(ACLU will run to the rescue, though!)

Unfortunately, you're probably right.

There IS one bright spot, however.

He will probably be attacked by a man-eating toilet in prison.

[Arrowhead1952]

I say cover him in honey and let the fire ants do the rest.

You must think about the pain fire ants inflict on a person just as I do. See post #25.

[WKB]

He meeds to suffer a long long time before he dies
while the abortion crowd begs to spare his life.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

I say that God didn't give Florida all of those alligators for no good reason.

[Jim Noble]

What an awful, horrible, nauseating story.

I am the father of four little girls, and I can't imagine a worse crime.

Unless it is repeatedly releasing violent sociopaths back into society after brutalizing them further for a few years.

The whole criminal justice-prison complex has lost its way and is a threat to society, as well as everyone's little girls.

Once someone demonstrates a proclivity to assault others with intent to cause harm, they should be isolated permanently, or killed (to be up front, I strongly favor the latter).

There is no reason to believe that their desire to commit these horrendous acts can be modified or eliminated. Prison for a term of years is not punishment to them-to be supported while in the company of their own kind, and able to prey on a constant supply of weaker people, is like going to a resort for you or I.

In addition to which, a prison term ends while their perverse desires, and the ability to carry them out, does not.

We send them to prison because we (rightly) have a horror of prison, as all normal people should, and from this we draw the incorrect inference that we are doing something horrible to them.

Prison does not reform or correct them (in many cases it makes them more efficient and better predators), and they all get out.

The population of violent sociopaths is not so large that they could not be isolated or eliminated.

Let's get going.

[mewzilla]

Florida? I doubt it. Floridians and us Texans, IMHO, "get it."

A guy with a rap sheet like that was out on the street, and Floridians get it? Not all of them apparently.

[Major_Risktaker]

Who is Joseph P. Smith?

Smith has been arrested at least 13 times in Florida since 1993

He also was placed on probation for aggravated battery in 1993

He was arrested in 1997 in Manatee County on kidnapping and false imprisonment charges, but was acquitted a year later.

He also was placed on probation for heroin charges in 1999.

He served 17 months in state prison for heroin possession and prescription drug fraud and was released on New Year's Day 2003.

He was arrested eight days later on a cocaine possession charge and was placed on probation for three years.

We are all responsible for this crime.
Think about it.

"As political and economic freedom... diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase.

And the dictator... will do well to encourage that freedom.

In conjunction with the freedom to daydream under the influence of dope, movies and the radio, it will help to reconcile his subjects to the servitude."

Aldous Huxley summarized it well in Brave New World:

[Area51]

To bad something can't be done to the judge that wouldn't jail him.
